About the Company

Our client is a globally recognised apparel and textile manufacturer with decades of excellence and deep-rooted success across the APAC region. Operating at scale and trusted by major international brands, the company blends advanced production capabilities with strong design, sampling, and technical expertise.

Now, they are ready for their next frontier: establishing a meaningful presence in Europe. This expansion is not a tentative step, it’s a strategic move fuelled by investment, confidence, and long-term ambition. To ignite this journey, they are seeking an entrepreneurial commercial leader who thrives on autonomy, is energised by the unknown, and wants to be the company’s very first employee on European ground.

If you’re someone who sees opportunity where others see a blank page, this role offers the rare chance to build something new, powered by the resources and stability of a global giant behind you.

• Strong track record of generating new business and opening new markets.
• Solid technical understanding of garment construction, fabrics, costing, and timelines.
